Overview
The MCM SC120 spider crane lifts 12 t, reaches a 21 m ground lift and a 19 m operating radius, and walks itself to the lift on steel tracks, bringing mobile-crane capacity to sites with no room for one.
12 tons, self-propelled, on tracks
The MCM SC120 adds 2 t of capacity and 1 m of radius to the SC100 while staying narrow enough for restricted sites: it travels at 1.86 m wide and 6.15 m long, on hydraulic-drive steel tracks that handle 25° (36%) slopes. Once at the lifting point, its four outriggers screw out manually and then telescope and support hydraulically, extending to a maximum of 7.6 m (length) by 6.7 m (front) and 5.6 m (rear).
What the SC120 lifts
| Rated capacity | 12 t |
| Maximum ground lift | 21 m |
| Maximum operating radius | 19 m |
| Boom | 5-section telescopic, 5.5–21 m |
| Boom extension | about 60 s |
| Boom angle | 0–78° (about 17 s) |
| Slewing | 360° continuous (about 42 s) |
| Hoist rope | Φ12 mm × 120 m, two-speed hook |
| Dead weight | 12.5 t |
As with any crane, capacity falls as the radius grows. Plan every lift from the SC120 load chart, not from the headline 12 t.
Engine
A 76 kW Yunnei diesel with electric start runs the crane, with a 40 L fuel tank and 24 V 45 Ah battery. The start range is rated from −50 °C to 45 °C.
Typical SC120 work
- Curtain-wall glazing and facade panels on multi-storey projects
- Steel erection and roof trusses between existing structures
- Machine installation inside factories and plant rooms
- Lifts over walls into back yards, courtyards and basements

Remote control, torque controller, man cradle and a hydraulic flying jib are optional. Need more? The SC160 lifts 16 t to 25 m. Compare all spider cranes in the spider crane range.
